Exterior view of Faendal's House in Riverwood

Faendal's House is a small house in Riverwood, owned by Faendal. The house is ringed with an interwoven stick fence, that runs from the guard wall to the west, to the other side of the house, around the vegetable garden. The fence does not completely surround the house and there is a break directly in front of the door for access. The garden on the eastern side of the house contains four potato plants, four cabbage plants, and three leek plants.

There is only one room to the house and it is crammed with items. Starting to the right and moving counter-clockwise, there is a small dining table with two chairs, followed by a bed, an end table and a cupboard, and then the fireplace. Next is a food table with a bench, then an armor table and finally another cupboard. To the right of the bed is a chest and there is a cooking pot by the fire, and another chest under the armor table. In addition to the standard stag's head above most fireplaces in Skyrim's homes, Faendal has a deer's head above his small dining table, and a slaughterfish either side of his bed.

There is a troll's skull by the bed, a woodcutter's axe by the fire, and on the armor table, a hunting bow, an iron helmet, an iron mace, an iron sword, a steel mace, and a leveled shield. There is another leveled weapon on the cupboard beside this table, behind some books on the shelf with the potion of minor healing, and the potion of true shot. On the shelf above that are two sabre cat pelts, and four loose arrows.

There are a few ingredients about the house. Above the fire is a bowl of troll fat, and hanging above the food table, and the cupboard by the bed are four dried elves ears, three dried frost mirriam, and two garlic buds.

After completing the quest A Lovely Letter, in Faendal's favor, all low value items become free to take, and the bed becomes usable.
